A nature-based retreat – taking shape in Galicia, NW Spain
I've always been drawn to two things: nature and design. Not as concepts, but as lived experiences — time spent in wild places, and the quiet satisfaction of a space that works beautifully.
By training, I'm an interior architect. I've spent years thinking about how physical spaces shape the way people feel — what makes a room calming, a layout intuitive, an environment worth staying in. That way of thinking doesn't switch off outside the studio. It followed me to Galicia, and eventually, it found a landscape worthy of it.
After years in an urban setting, thinking about buildings and helping businesses, I needed a different kind of chapter. Galicia — its forests, its coast, its food, its pace. What I found was an old quarry on a hillside overlooking the Pontevedra estuary and Atlantic Coast. Surrounded by forest and the mountains. It wasn't a rational assessment. It was deeper. That became Finca Galicia.
We are developing a nature-based, off-grid resort, and the thinking behind it starts with a simple conviction: location is not a limitation if done right. It is the product. The tent is just the interface. What guests are really paying for is what the tent gives them access to — an inspiring landscape, genuine stillness, experiences that no five-star city hotel can replicate. At that point, the remoteness stops being a constraint and becomes the whole point.
The land is secured. Planning is underway. We are building carefully and in phases.
If you're curious about the project — as an investor, a potential collaborator, or someone who simply shares an interest in nature-led spaces done well — I'd be glad to connect
